| Summary: | Beginning with a brief overview of the life and works of Aquinas, the authors introduce his explanatory framework to provide the necessary background for the rest of Aquinas' substantive theorizing. The authors then present and evaluate Aquinas' substantive views on rational theology, metaphysics, the theory of human nature, philosophy of mind, and ethical and political theory. Though not aimed at providing a comprehensive evaluation of all of Aquinas' views, this volume does present a systematic introduction to the principal; areas of Aquinas' philosophy, both in terms of its methods and its substantive positions. They have completed one chapter and are teaching a course together this spring on Aquinas. |
